Eh, 10 ppd is not a big deal, really. I've had days well over 20. Although, my average over 7½ years is only 7.89.

Who has the current highest PPD? I must be in there somewhere

Although i have slowed down quite a lot.

[Frdm920 50]

My average ppd is no doubt close to 0 thanks to the 2 years of lurking xD

[Duke87 1,070]

0.25. You can check the number in your profile.

[astronelson 339]

2255.

Or your dashboard.

5.58 here.

[un1 41]

My highest: 16ppd, last I checked it was 3ppd.

[Chptrk 86]

Currently at 3.79ppd.

[Muck308 55]

3.66 for me. I think it's been as high as 3.89 but don't quote me on that.

Mine has been as high as 15 or so, but that was in 2004.

I think I just spent...maybe an hour trying to learn how this DOSBox thingy worked, and it totally payed off.

LOL, Duke Nukem!

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, that's one way of getting Duke 3D working. Of course, there's also JonoF's port...

[Timmystwin 201]

Remember my windows 98 i mentioned? That runs it

[Muck308 55]

2264

I never played any of the Duke Nukem games. Did I miss anything good?

[Vahr 341]

2265

Oh, now that's a game that's as old as I am

[Larks2242 251]

2266.

I had never heard of it till now.

[Chptrk 86]

2267.

It's like, only one of the most classically epic first person shooters ever! Right up there with Doom, which I also can now work again! Hooray for DOSBox!

@Duke, what's JonoF's port? It's not something you'd have to pay for, is it? Cuz I'm just using the discs my dad would have bought back in the 90s.

And Larks, I'm actually surprised by that.

[Timmystwin 201]

2268

Duke nukem was the best first person shooter i think i ever played. It was original, funny, and downright awesome for a game of its day. And yes. I have been on it today

[Larks2242 251]

2269.

Why am i not aware of this game!

[Chptrk 86]

2270.

Seeing as I'm telling you about it on MSN, I wont explain it anymore then if someone else wants to describe it here.

Till then, Dooms 1 and 2 are now installed on my computer! Yay! Wolfenstein next, then maybe...not sure yet...

[Vahr 341]

2271

Well you are now!

And remember, wiki is your friend!

JFDuke3D.

Essentially, it's a port of the game's Build engine which allows you to run it in modern Windows. Perfectly legal, as it does not contain the actual game data (you'll need to import the .GRP file off the CD). And the game's source code was released years ago (in fact, that enabled this) so there's no illicit cracking, either.

What I don't know is whether or not it works with the original game (which is what you appear to have). It may be Atomic Edition only.

For anyone who doesn't have the game, you can download it for 5.99 USD (click the "buy it!" link at the upper right)

It is also available on Xbox Live Arcade.

I do also have Atomic Edition, although I didn't install that because when I put it into my computer it brought it up in iTunes... I should go mess with that again. *messes with* Oh, cool..so I figured it out, nevermind. Had to right click on it and press open in the My Computer screen.

I figure I might as well just stick with the DOSBox thing, as long as I already have it. Not to mention that the regular game came with Duke 1 and 2 on the disc as well, although I don't think I'll actually play those...and well, the Wolfenstein-Doom-Quake games need the DOS Box too. There was also something on the page about it on how to create a desktop shortcut for a game that runs through DOSBox, I'll probably go look into that too.

But otherwise that JonoF's port woulda been fine...do you use it? That is, if you still have Duke Nukem.

Actually, I'm really glad you posted that. Atomic Edition (unlike every other game) demands I have the disk in, but doesn't realize that the disk is in. So I think I'll be using that port...unless I did something wrong on the DOSBox....I'll mess aroudn with it for a bit... *rambles*

2274 - I just edited my first MP3 file (successfully). I took a 6 minutes song, removed all but one good verse (the only good verse), now that song is 1 minute long.

[Vahr 341]

I've done some dabbling here and there with audio editing, stuff like trimming, noise reduction, volume adjustment...

Duke 1 is pretty much skippable unless you have a thing for bad ancient bleep-bloopy DOS games. Duke Nukem II, on the other hand, is an amazing game and you really should try it out.

Ah, discovered Audacity, have we?

I don't know how to edit Mp3 files, although I saw this guy do it in a comic book once.

ABC should not air TV shows anymore, same with CBS and NBC.

What's wrong with the Australian Broadcasting Commission?

(and yes I know you're talking about the American one)
